Young Artists Push Tibbett For Spotlight
Running close competition to Lawrence Tibbett for the Music Week spotlight are Virginia Haskins, coloratura soprano of the Chicago Civic Opera company, and Thaddeus Kozuch, brilliant young Polish-American pianist, who will present their "Young American Artist" concert at 8:20 o'clock Tuesday evening in Hoch auditorium.
For several years, with the idea of helping the truly talented young American musicians get a start in concert work, Dean D. M. Swarthout manager of the University concert course, has been featuring during Music Week a "Young American Artist" evening.
Although the world seems to be full of would-be concert artists, Dean Swarthout says he has been careful to obtain only those who have given evidence that they definitely have ability.
His judgments have been vindivated in past years in the selection of such musicians as Dallies Franz, Rosalyn Tureck, of Eunice Norton, now all established artists in the concert field.
Careful In Selection
Since her debut, Miss Haskins has travelled in Italy and was under contract to sing leading roles at the world-famous La Scala opera in Milan when war conditions in Europe forced cancellation of the plan. Brilliant Young Pianist
Thaddeus Kozuch, already known as one of the brilliant pianists in the city of Chicago, will play on the same program with Miss Haskins.
The concert will begin at 8:20 p.m. immediately following the Fine Arts Day banquet in the Memorial Union building. It will be the final number of the season on the University concert course.

Plans for two additions to the Memorial Union building which will cost around $185,000 were displayed before 70 student leaders yesterday afternoon.
University civil engineers will be busy next week dining in Kansas City and visiting Kansas industrial plants before they hibernate for final exams.
The University chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers will hold a joint meeting and dinner with the Kansas City sections of the ASCE and the American Welding society in Kansas City, Mo., on May 15.

Civil Engineers Get Reprieve Before Finals

Ten students will work on a topographical map of the campus and the surrounding area and other projects.
to the Memorial Union building.
The new additions will cost between $180,000 and $185,000 according to estimates made at the meeting by George M. Beal, professor of architecture, from whose blueprints the slides were made.
Senate Bill No.25
These plans are subject to the approval of the state architect as set forth in Senate Bill No. 25 of the last state legislature, which makes provision for the building project.
The new additions to the building will be on both the north and south sides of the building, with most of the new area on the south instead of on the north as was formerly planned.
Additions to the sub-basement in the new plans will be a dance floor about 45 feet square which will open off the present north wall of the fountain. Provision will be made on the southwest side of the floor for six bowling alleys to be adjacent to the billiard and table tennis rooms. Terrace Opening Tentative
On the basement floor, the cafeteria will be extended to the southwest with offices provided for the I.S.A., the Men's and Women's Councils, and the Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. There will be a tentative plan made for a terrace opening off the cafeteria on the south, with the University club rooms on the north.
The first floor will have added to it a music room larger than the present one, an enlarged check (continued to page eight)
The observance Sunday of Mother's Day is an example of something big growing out of a small idea. Here's the way it started:
Author of the idea was Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia. On Sunday, May 9, 1907, Miss Jarvis invited a friend to spend the day with her in memory of her mother who had died in the spring of 1906.
Mother's Day Observed In U. S.Since 1907
It was then that Miss Jarvis conceived the idea that there should be a special day each year when everyone would pay respect to mother.
During the following year the "mother of mother's day" campaigned throughout the city for the holiday. Her campaign was well received, and the city adopted the second Sunday of May as Mothers Day.
Various states took the idea, and in 1913 a resolution as passed by the United States seize and house of representatives to take the second Sunday of May a national holiday dedicated to the millions of mothers of the nation.
Observance of Mother's Day is not limited to the United States. England has a similar holiday.
Thus a simple memorial day for one mother in 1907 has become a commemorative day for 30,000,000 mothers throughout the nation.
